Taiga Hilliard’s Elyssa Dress is a simple, classic design with a full skirt, cap sleeves, and a button band that can be worn in either the front or the back. This top-down dress is made special with Uneek Fingering (100% superwash Merino), a self-striping yarn that provides a glorious festival of color on a soft, washable base.
Elyssa Dress is available in 6 sizes and is designed to be worn with 1-2” of positive ease. The sizes listed below correspond to the actual measurement of the finished garment so to achieve the recommended fit, please choose a size that is 1-2” larger than the child’s chest measurement.
- Size 1 (3 months): 18” finished chest circumference
- Size 2 (6 months): 19” finished chest circumference
- Size 3 (12 months): 20” finished chest circumference
- Size 4 (18 months): 21” finished chest circumference
- Size 5 (2T): 22” finished chest circumference
- Size 6 (3T): 23” finished chest circumference
Each kit includes sufficient yarn for the size specified in the color of your choice, along with the pattern. We will purchase a copy of Elyssa Dress for you via Ravelry, so you will automatically receive both a printed copy and an emailed PDF. If you would also like to have this pattern in your Ravelry library, please note your Ravelry ID (not your password!) in the "Notes" field in your cart!
If you purchase more than one of the same kit, Spun will automatically purchase only one copy of the pattern for you, and we will refund you the pattern cost for any additional kits. If you need more than one copy of your pattern, please include a note in the 'Notes' field at checkout, and we'll purchase and print the given number of copies of the pattern for you.
Please note that this kit does not include needles or buttons. You will need US4 and US5 16” circular needles (or size needed to achieve gauge). If you don't already have the appropriate needles at home, you can shop Spun's selection of circular needles here. The dress is finished with two .5” buttons.
If you'd like to make your kit a gift (for yourself or someone else), or if you just wish to keep your new project tidy and organized, add the Spun Rope Handle Bag with Pin to your order and we will package your purchase accordingly!
